This film is basically Alien Resurrection. I don't get why people love this one and hated Resurrection lol.
"Basically" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this post. Yes, when boiled down to its base elements, it's got similarities to Alien: Resurrection, but that a clone does not make (pun intended?).
Alien: Resurrection is a shitshow of a movie, with tonal whiplash that confuses its tone from scene to scene, sometimes moment to moment. The crew of the Betty are in the wrong movie, the ending is anticlimactic as hell, and it just comes off as filmed fanfiction.
Romulus is no masterpiece, but it's got far more going for it than Resurrection. It's got interesting ideas executed well, some damn fine acting, it knows what it is, and it's genuinely tense. The only thing it doesn't improve on from Resurrection is the music. I just wish filmmakers would stop doing homages or references to previous entries. It's the same issue I had with Predators. It was a far more entertaining movie than I expected, hampered by too many callbacks.
You're free to like or dislike what you want, but Resurrection is a mess as far as many of us are concerned.

Mutant have now responded with the following on their Facebook channel...
"We have been getting an increasing number of messages about doing more CDs. Just wanted to let you know we’ve heard them and we are working to get a few more titles from our catalog on the format.
Have there been any releases so far since we’ve started that you want us to go back and make CD editions of? Let us know in the comments."
Let them know guys!!!
I just commented. Thanks for letting us know about this.

I found this movie to be absolutely terrible. The Disney homogenization that worked so successfully for The Force Awakens (until it didn't later on!) was just so prevalent throughout and the basic plotting is nearly identical to Alvarez's prior films Evil Dead (2013) and Don't Breathe. Funny he is going around the press cycle speaking as though his new Alien franchise film has either "zero" or "very little" VFX when so much is on display that even an untrained eye will notice at least two fully CGI characters on display for multitudes of runtime. Why are studios pushing their creatives to lead with this deceptive marketing tactic? It reeks of cynicism and the further abuse of the VFX industry as it possibly moves towards unionization.
Thank you nuts...
The right thinking-validation of putrid- I was lookin for to avoid this one.
If Covenant was, IMO, The Greatest Worst Hits (every bad trope of the series in one place), this sounds to be the same.
Standards folks, jeez....
Feeling some have given up and give a pass to trash because we're desperate for our beloved art forms to do right....
Are you seriously trying to high road people about a movie you haven't even seen? Get over yourself.
